When I check per capita for the US(1) and countries in Europe(2) you can see it is droping rapidly. Yes increases in overall gdp is causing overall increases in co2 but we have grounds for optimism.
I really do want to emphasize that we need to do something about the situation. But, my view is more of being in a house with hundreds of dirty dishes with more piling up by the minute. Yes if we did nothing about it the house would fill with rot and insects and we will all die. But, much is already being done and my suspicion/delusion is the amount of effort will only increase as the problem gets worse.
